Public Interest Litigation and Legal Aid in Scotland

November 7, 2009 | No Comments

In collaboration with the Environmental Law Centre Scotland and the Centre for International Public Health Policy, the SHRLG presents a seminar on Public Interest Litigation and Legal Aid in Scotland.

The Gill Review has considered the issue of public interest litigation and has made recommendations for change.  What should those changes be and how do other jurisdictions deal with questions of wider public interest coming before the courts?

Who: Professor Allyson Pollock (Centre for International Public Health), Aidan O’Neill QC, Frances McCartney (Environmental Law Centre Scotland) and Tony Kelly (Taylor & Kelly Solicitors).

When: 1.30 – 4.15 pm, Monday 7th December 2009

Where: School of Health in Social Science, University of Edinburgh

The seminar will be of interest to lawyers in both private practice and public authorities, policy makers, non-governmental organisations, academics and anyone else who has an interest in public law or legal aid.
